Funding For the survey effort, including analysis and assessment, the funding responsibilities have been assigned by the General Manager: DOS - $100 K; DBER - $200 K; the balance from the weapons program. In FY 1974 DMA will pick up the whole tab for normal AEC support and studies which have a routine and continuing character to them. The DOD has the entire funding responsibility for the cleanup effort, which will require AEC support on a reimbursable basis. The point was made that there are three efforts here: 1. Initial survey to find out what the problem is--AEC FY 1973 funding responsibility. 2. Cleanup--DOD funding. 3. Continuous radiological checking and monitoring of the food chain-AEC FY 1974 and beyond funding through DMA. DOS and DBER had been sent memoranda requesting their FY 1974 (and onward) requirements. All representatives (including DOS and DBER) were urged to provide DMA (Tests) with their requirements for FY 1974 as soon as possible. Question re LLL participation. survey samples. A number of labs will be on hand to analyze Discussion OIS question -- Is a public information paper needed regarding the survey? Yes. This will be one of the first items on the agenda for the working group meeting--Schuller, Gay, and DeYoung. CAPT Gay made three points: 1. He has discussed with Mr. Deal the equipment requirements for their (DOS) part in the survey, such as boats, helos, etc. 2. Should HASL be invited to LLL meeting? DBER said no. Mr. Deal wanted them invited because of the air sampling. Mr. Deal will contact Mr. Nervik regarding this subject. 3. CAPT Gay has been requested to present a Commission briefing on Eniwetok. It was decided CAPT Gay would do the brief with DOS, OIS, and DBER as backup. (After the meeting, this briefing was scheduled for the week of October 16, 1972.) Next meeting will be September 25, 1972, at 2:00 p.m.
